Dear Friends,
It has been almost a year and a half since the spread of Covid-19. Diabetes during this second wave as well remains a major
risk factor as it contributes to further worsening of the disease. “We have identified blood glucose as one of the vital
parameters and if at the time of Covid or at the time of hospitalization, the glucose is found to be high, it needs to be
treated aggressively”, said Dr. Jothydev Kesavadev in the video message. Hear more on the gems video of the month.
This issue brings to you the role of Vitamin D in lowering diabetes risk, the importance of both personal
and psychosocial factors in improving diabetes management and much more.
Our gems picture of the month features MiniMed 780G, the advanced hybrid close loop system from Medtronic, which is expected to launch in India in the latter half of 2021.
The interesting reads on approval of dapagliflozin to treat chronic kidney disease by the FDA and lowered asthma exacerbations by GLP-1 in individuals with asthma and diabetes also find their place in the drug updates on this issue.
Be sure to try the Roasted Cauliflower Rice, rich in calcium and fiber recommended by our dietitian!
Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!
